• What is the Big Data concept?

  There are basically three concepts associated with Big Data - Volume, Variety, and Velocity. The volume refers to the amount of data we generate which is over 2.5 quintillion bytes per day, much larger than what we generated a decade ago. Velocity refers to the speed with which we receive data, be it real-time or in batches. Variety refers to the different formats of data like images, text, or videos.
